14 years after Viagra hit the market, a female prototype is being tested and undergoing trials in the form of a nasal spray called Tefina. How cool!

According to This Magazine, Tefina, is a testosterone gel that gets sprayed up the nose and
absorbed within minutes, with effects that could be felt within hours.
Aimed to combat Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD), also known as
anorgasmia, Tefina is “a bioadhesive ‘no touch’ intranasal low-dose gel
formulation of testosterone.” From the company Trimel
the nasal spray is designed for “use as required” treatment, and has
virtually no side effects like acne, hair growth, and
voice deepening.
The drug, which intends to increase
orgasms for females, is being tested in Australia, the United States,
and even Canada, where Health Canada recently approved the
trials.
There seems to be a lot of heat surrounding the race to
put a female equivalent of Viagra on the market, as is outlined in Liz
Canner’s 2011 documentary Orgasm Inc.
